Lady Lin's First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 324 Sister Rong’s First Day as a Housekeeper

What comes in sight is the delicate attic, neat and tidy floor tiles in the front yard full of the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty. The carved cornices loom among the leaves of the camphor tree. The blue bricks on the wall are engraved with lines and patterns. She can smell the fragrance of fruit in the backyard, and even sees them through a paved path … Even though Sister Rong is a young playgirl, she knows how dignitary of the owner is to have such a large house in downtown Rong City despite the “Enclosure Movement” by real estate companies in recent property boom.

Like Aunty Li first comes to Lin’s house, Sister Rong also feels that she becomes shorter as she steps forward. On the contrary, the exquisite Ming-Qing style courtyard becomes higher.

Cao Liyang, who picked them up, is already a boss-style man, he says, ” Thanks to you, Sister Rong I come here for the first time.”

Cao Liyang, who always has drivers to serve for him, is also allowed to enter for the first time?

Although Sister Rong is naughty, she is temporarily impressed by this situation at the moment. She behaves well. Because she resembles Rong Donglin, she looks gentle and elegant when she doesn’t yell.

Cao Liyang sees Zeng Tian coming, so he says with a smile, “I have brought her here. I’m leaving.”

“Grandmaster will blame me if I don’t invite you to have a cup of tea. Just come together, Rong.” Zeng Tian intentionally raises his arm to show his name-brand watch studded with diamonds under his cuffs.

Sister Rong’s eyelids twitch. The modern society’s information spreads fast. Young girls often read fashion magazines to follow the trend. This watch is a well-known Swiss brand. Sister Rong remembers clearly that it is a limited diamond-boarded edition . The version, which was released last month, sells for more than one million yuan.It is worth a suite.

Zeng Tian is very shrewd. Many years ago, when he was a spoiled son of his rich father, he was willing to lower herself to talk with Mr. Lin who was fishing in front of the villa. After these years, he becomes even more astute, only staying cordial with his close associates.

For worrying this little girl can’t recognize high-end customized products, he deliberately wears this conspicuously watch. It turns out that he is right on this.

Zeng Tian pretends that he does not notice her gaze. He invites Cao Liyang and Rong Donglin to drink tea. No one asks Sister Rong, so she follows them autonomously.

“Take a seat. I’ll make tea.”

He goes out carrying a kettle and the teacup. There are some small bamboo cans on the tray, which is for storage of tea.

Zeng Tian has followed Yuan Ye to manage Lin’s Pharmaceutical Factory for years. At least he learns some medicinal knowledge fromYuan Ye. Seeing two bags under Cao Liyang’s eyes, he knows that Cao Liyang may have a bad sleep recently. Therefore, Zeng Tian picks some pieces of ginseng and wolfberry helping to soothe his nerves.

“Ginseng and wolfberry can soothe your nerves and minds. Liyang, you should have a good rest.”

Rong Donglin has many problems on his mind, looking dispirited, so Zeng Tian directly serves him a cup of Tieguanyin, a kind of green tea for refreshment.

“Donglin, look at you. You seem to be seventy years old. Have a drink to refresh yourself. This is a high-quality tea that Grandmaster has saved. I only dare to serve it for you two. ”

Tea is fragrant. Sister Rong sees that Zeng Tian is a more qualified housekeeper than her. However, she also sees his luxurious watch, which makes her perplexed to what does he do. Thinking this, she also has some expectations. The man is a good speaker, so she is wondering what kind of tea is made for her?

However, Zeng Tian has a cup of lemon tea for Sister Rong. Even if she doesn’t know famous tea, she still knows it is lemon slices. She is annoyed. There are so many bamboo tubes of tea, but this guy just gives her a cup of lemon tea. It is clear that he looks down upon her for being a housekeeper.

The young girl who used to be spoiled in Rong’s family, can’t hide her emotions. When she takes it, she doesn’t hold it firmly on purpose. Some liquid spills on Zeng Tian’s back of hands and taints his sleeves.

Sister Rong stands in amazement so she forgets to apologize at once. She doesn’t plan to scald him.

Cao Liyang cries out. Zeng Tian puts down the teacup, takes off his watch on the table, and runs to handle it.

“Brother …”

Rong Donglin starts to comfort her, “It’s okay. I know that you don’t mean it, and Zeng Tian won’t blame you as well.”

Sister Rong thinks that her brother is very good today. Since he is good, she doesn’t want to oppose him. She is willing to be a clever sister.

Then Sister Rong is immediately attracted by the familiar name Zeng Tian. She never thinks that one day she can get along with her elder brother in such a harmonious atmosphere and it is exactly because that her boyfriend who loves to incite disputes is not here.

Zeng Tian. His name is Zeng Tian. He is the heir of Zeng’s real estate. He is the eligible bachelor in Rong City who appeared in the magazine last month. How can he be here to serve tea?

Sister Rong looks at her hands. Does she come to take over Zeng Tian’s job?

Having changed his clothes, Zeng Tian rushes out, “Liyang, Donglin, we have to go to the company. There is something urgent.”

Cao Liyang guesses something, but Donglin believes without a doubt. Having no time to worry whether Sister Rong can get used to Lin’s family, he comforts her only by a few words, and then he leaves with Zeng Tian right away.

Lin’s house is quiet and empty. There is only Sister Rong in the living room. She is anxious.

She thinks it is humiliating to be dismissed on the first day, so she says to herself that she can do this “easy” job. And then she stands up to clean up the mess.

Next to the teacup, there is the watch that Zeng Tian has forgotten to take away. Under the sunlight, it is shining with an unusually bright light.

SisterRong’s eyelids twitch the second time.

This is a top watch worth one million. If she and her boyfriend can have the money to start their business, she dose not have to be a housekeeper .

Sister Rong’s face shows desire and regret.

She reaches out her hands and carefully grabs the watch beside the teacup, feeling her heart is jumping.

…

Mrs. Lin comes back full of happiness, carrying all sizes of bags in her hand. Wang Miao’e misses her daughter so much that she comes back home first. Mrs. Lin is informed that Lin Luoran has been at home for two days, so she quickly returns by plane.

“Hello. Luoran, Luoran … Yuan Ye … Zeng Tian?”

There is no response. It is very strange. Usually, there is someone at home. Where are they?

When she is thinking, a lovely young girl comes out of the kitchen. She seems to meet the girl before, but she doesn’t know her.

Sister Rong sees the lady in front of her. She doesn’t know how old the lady actually is or how to address her. They look at each other confusedly. But then Sister Rong thinks she can’t be so timid, so she introduces herself.

“Mrs., I am the new housekeeper . You can call me Rong.”

When hearing “Rong”, Mrs. Lin hesitates, “Rong Donglin is your…?”

Sister Rong takes over the bags from Mrs. Lin’s hand quickly, “He is my brother.”

Mrs. Lin murmurs. She does not understand why Rong Donglin’s sister comes to be a housekeeper . Donglin is the teacher of Luodong…

“If you are Rong Donglin’s sister, you should call me Auntie.”

Sister Rong does so, and she comes with Mrs. Lin to the kitchen. Quickly, she finds out who Mrs. Lin is.

She is the mother of Lin Luoran. Mrs. Lin looks really young.

Until dinner, Sister Rong doesn’t meet the young hostess here as expected. It is Friday today, so two senior high students come back for dinner.

Sister Rong feels though she has graduated from high school for only a few years, she can’t join their talk. They discuss at the dinner table about the best universities in Huaxia, while she can’t go to a university after restudy for a year. People are so different!

After eating fruit, Sister Rong, who has not really worked in the past two years, feels backache. She doesn’t know if Lin’s family is satisfied with her, nor does she think of talking about her salary.

But, where will she live tonight? Will she live here, or go back home? Rong Donglin’s apartment is not far from here, and the straight open distance is short. However, the alley is too curved. It seems a little far away.

Is it too late to go back now?

Sister Rong is in random thought. The street light in the front yard of Lin’s family is on. A woman who is wearing a long skirt and a coat comes in, with a camellia gem hairpin on her hair. In the night, her eyes are extra bright, like cool moonlight.

The two people behind her, one is Zeng Tian who Sister Rong has met in the day, and the other one is tall and thin, not inferior to Zeng Tian.

“Ran …” Mrs. Lin hasn’t seen her daughter for three years, so she hugs Lin Luoran closely.

Lin Luoran’s eyes soften a little, and she and Mrs. Lin go to the room for good talks.

She walks past Sister Rong, barely glancing at her. The camellia gem hairpin, just like a watch, almost dazzles Rong’s eyes.

Fortunately, Zeng Tian talks to her.

“Oh, you are still here. Sorry. I forgot to tell you that you are not allowed to live here. I will drop you home.”

Sister Rong is still in amazement. Now she has to live in her own house as a housekeeper? To be more exact, she should be called a part-time employee.

“Zeng Tian. Come here!”

Lin Luoran waves her hands to Zeng Tian at the corner. Zeng Tian smiles apologetically, “It seems I’ll be busy for a while. Can you drive?”

Sister Rong nods. Of course.

Zeng Tian finds a bunch of keys for her and asks her to drive the BMW Lin Luoran bought many years ago. It is the first car she bought. How can Grandmaster drive such an old car! Zeng Tian wants to obsolete this car for a long time. Today, he can do it with reasonable grounds.

Sister Rong takes the key with dizziness. She is so nervous that she tries several times before starting the car.

The alley outside Lin’s house is crooked, which makes her cautious all the way. She drives the car into the parking lot of her brother’s apartment with great care. Sister Rong suddenly realizes her timidity. It is not her!

“I am not a born housekeeper !”

When she gets off the car, suddenly a person jumps out from the shadow.

Gu Xiang gets angry at what happened in the morning. Sister Rong explains. When Gu Xiang sees the BMW she drives back, he changes his tone and asks if she goes to the home of Lin’s family, who she has met and whether the job is laboring.

Sister Rong is so exhausted. For the first time, she feels her boyfriend so noisy.

When Rong Donglin, standing on the stairs, finds his sister back, he is relieved.

“Are you tired? Mom has prepared the bathwater for you. Take a bath and have a good rest. ”

Differences are distinctive between them. For the first time, Sister Rong doesn’t care about Gu Xiang, and follows her brother to go home.

Gu Xiang stays where he is. His facial expression changes again, and evilness shows in his eyes.

Outside of the community, Cao Liyang sits in a car, throws out a cigarette butt, and asks the driver to leave.

These uppity little fleas dare to inquire Lin’s family. The young man now is bolder than when he was younger, Cao Liyang thinks so.

…

Zeng Tian returns to the room and sees his watch which is cleaned up in his room.

He puts the watch into a drawer and goes to the backyard.

“So, Director Zeng, how is your big play today to test Sister Rong. Do you have the any expected results?” Lin Luoran takes off the camellia hairpin on her hair. What a bad idea! She has to pretend to be a parvenu.

Zeng Tian scratches his head. “If it isn’t Rong’s sister, I wouldn’t spend time doing that.”

Although Lin Luoran ridicules him, in fact, she is very satisfied with Zeng’s attitude towards Rong Donglin. They are friends after all. If Zeng Tian looks down upon Donglin after he becomes a cultivator, she will be disappointed instead.

“Grandmaster, when are you leaving? Will you take me this time?” Zeng Tian looks at Lin Luoran eagerly.

Lin Luoran shakes her head. The freedom of being alone may be the opportunity for Bearing Essence.

“I’ll stay here for a few days. Luodong will have the college entrance examination very soon. I have to encourage him. He has just begun his cultivation, so he needs me.”
